01.08.2013 National Conference On 10 Years of EA 2003
Agenda • Power Sector Model Post Unbundling • Challenges • PPP Model VsFranchisee • Multiple licensing • PPP Model in Delhi • Success story of PPP Model in Delhi
Power Industry – Value Chain Power Industry – Value Chain Post Unbundling Generation Transmission Distribution
Key Challenges Generation During the year 2010-11, Power Utilities reported a generation loss of 8.1 BU due to shortage of coal. CEA estimated total coal shortfall of 30% in next FY leading to increased dependency on imported coal 63% (i.e 11250 MW) of the Thermal Capacity Addition target was achieved Delayed Clearances on account of Land Acquisition Against an assessed hydro power potential of 2.5 lac MW installed capacity is only 0.39 lacs MW Absence of peaking capacities Transmission Inadequate Inter-regional transmission capacity Southern Region – Congestion
Key Challenges Source: PFC Report on Performance of State Utilities • Significant increase in tariff by SERCs across India in the last 2 years • Tariff hiked in 28 states in FY 13 & 15 states in FY 14 (20% to 37% ) • Appellate Tribunal of Electricity has directed all SERCs to issue Tariff Orders annually, even suo-moto without requiring approval of Govt. Source: PFC Report on Performance of State Utilities Distribution • High AT&C Losses affecting commercial viability - National average of 26-27% vis-à-vis single digit in developed countries. • Absence of Cost Reflective Tariffs - Lack of commercial principles. • Huge Revenue Gaps for DISCOMs on account of Deferred Tariffs. • Accumulated Distribution losses in 2010 : Rs 1,07,000 Cr ; Rs 2,45,000 Cr in 2012; Expected to increase to Rs 2,90,000 Cr by end of XII Plan in 2017. (Planning Commission High Level Panel Report) • Power tariffs need to be raised by 47% for the DISCOMs to break even. (CRISIL Report) • Limited or no competition in Distribution space despite Regulatory Framework.
Tariff – Comparative Scenario Despite Improvement in Supply & Consumer Services, Lowest Average Tariff Among All Metros & Neighboring States
Distribution Sector Mumbai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Surat, Greater NOIDA Pvt Orissa , Delhi PPP Govt. DISCOMs Maharashtra (Bhiwandi, Nagpur, Jalgaon, Aurangabad), UP (Agra), MP (Gwalior, Ujjain, Sagar), Jharkhand (Jamshedpur & Ranchi) DF State-owned DF – Distribution Franchisee; PPP-Public-PvtPartnership Distribution is a licensed activity under the EA 2003. SERCs award distribution license. 85% of Distribution sector largely dominated by State Owned Electricity Boards. TPDDL (Distribution) is Regulated by Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) who is responsible for determination of tariffs chargeable to consumers.
Reforms Model PPP Vs. Franchisee Franchisee Key Parameters PPP Model Control over Distribution Capital investment made for sustainable improvement of the network and infrastructure Capital investment only for meeting short term targets. Current legal framework does not support Franchisee for procuring additional power. Franchisee is accountable to only the Discom Based on requirement Licensee can procure additional energy subject to regulatory approval. Govt Holding can safeguard the public interest Network Strengthening & Loss Reduction Reliable Supply
Reforms ModelPPP Vs. Franchisee Franchisee Key Parameters PPP Model Consumer Convenience Shorter period not sufficient for Distribution Reform. Employees will remain with Discom. As Franchise is just a mere contractor under the DISCOM, so regulator can not monitor the performance . The employees can be transferred to the SPV and being a part of the joint venture, will be more motivated to perform. The term of agreement to coincide with the period of license agreement as stipulated in the EA 2003 Performance parameters with regulatory control are built into the License conditions as per provisions of Act. Term of Engagement Employees
Reforms ModelParallel Licensing EA 2003 ….14… “Provided also that the Appropriate Commission may grant a license to two or more persons for distribution of electricity through their own distribution system within the same area….” Could not pick up due to non-submission of network rollout plan and availability of information from the incumbent licenseeetc.. Post Supreme Court Judgementdated 8th July 2008 unique successful case study of RInfra-D and TPC-D of have operationalized parallel distribution without duplicating the network. The Electricity Act, 2003 has not envisaged distribution wires and retail supply as separate licenses, neither is the distribution wires business defined as an area monopoly. To what extent is retail supply competition envisaged in the Electricity Act, 2003??? In the absence of a competitive wholesale market, is there a case for introduction of competition in retail supply? Would competitive retail supply be sustainable?
Reforms ModelParallel Licensing Need for Wire & Retail Supply Segregation Approach to Wire & Retail Supply Segregation Segregation of Accounts and Reporting Requirements Possible ways to ring-fence wires and retail supply businesses, so as to avoid cross-subsidization between the two businesses In the case of multiple distribution licensees, should all the licenses be regulated under the cost-plus regime OR only the incumbent licensee should be regulated under the cost-plus regime? OR should none of the distribution licensees be regulated under the cost-plus regime?TariffCeling or not? Migration of subsidizing consumers and financial implication on the distribution licensees Standards of Operations & Operating procedures
Scenario in Delhi Pre-Reforms 2002 • AT&C/Theft losses range between 53% to 60% of Input • Govt. Subsidies approx. Rs 15,000 cr per annum to bridge Revenue Gap • Condition of Network pathetic • Billing Receivables close to 1 year outstanding • Poor Condition of Consumer Records • Consumer nowhere in focus/Regular - black outs and brown-outs of 4-6 hours • Investment needed to improve Network • Subsidies - not a long term solution; Sector to be made Self Sufficient • AT&C loss reduction and sector efficiency • Improvements required • Enhance consumer satisfaction • Introduce Best Practices, enhancing employee skill sets and • morale Need for Reforms Financially unhealthy utilities
Privatization Model • License-based Regulated business for 25 years. • Guaranteed 16% RoE on meeting AT&C Targets. • Tariff set by regulator on cost plus RoE basis.
Key Drivers Impacting Business Linked to investment of capital in the network Return on Capital Employed Profit Drivers Reduction of AT&C Losses below stipulated norms Incentives due to Over Achievement of Losses Cost Optimization Direct impact on Bottom Line Additional Revenue Generation Opportunities Enhancement of Bottom Line Key Imperatives • AT&C Loss Reduction • Network Reliability and Availability • Consumer Service Improvement • Power Availability at Optimal Costs • Cost Optimization • Compliance to Performance Standards • Additional Growth Avenues

How Outage Management System Works Localization of Faulty Section by Patrolling Line by Breakdown staff • Fault occurrence • Upstream Breaker Opens • FPI indicate fault NO
Manual Isolation of Faulty Section How Outage Management System Works • Close NO point NO Manual isolation of the faulty section
For Planet – Solar Generation • Initiated to meet Group Commitments on CC & Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) on the Delhi Electricity DISCOMS • Demonstrate the technical feasibility & economic viability of renewable generation in big cities like Delhi. • Installations: • 1 MW solar roof-top plant – 1st in India • 15 grid connected solar plants (total capacity – 1.65 MW) across TPDDL • Generation in FY 13 from solar plants – 20,84,400 units • 12 plants in NDMC area for porta cabins & feasibility study on for street lighting • 100 KW plant as consultant in Chotu Ram College in Haryana
